This Book Club episode explores the contemporary work landscape, where hustle meets passion, and careers are no longer confined to a single job title. Today, we talk about “The Multi-Hyphen Method” by Emma Gannon—author, podcaster, and unabashed multi-hyphenate herself.

What is the essence of the multi-hyphen method? Work less, create more, and design a career that aligns with your aspirations by embracing a diverse range of roles simultaneously. In her book, Gannon celebrates the art of the side hustle and the benefit of having multiple sources of income, especially for women. 

Today we have two guests that are living proof of the multi-hyphen lifestyle. Greta Grace is an entrepreneur, business coach, retreat leader, facilitator, speaker, and yoga teacher—Greta effortlessly wears multiple hats, embodying the spirit of purposeful living.

Also joining us is Deborah Liubinas, the creative force behind 3 O’Clock Style. Former management accountant turned fashion stylist, content creator, blogger, influencer, and brand ambassador (and Tanya’s beautiful sister!)—Deb’s journey reflects a deliberate shift from the corporate world to pursue a passion for fashion.

Our discussion today offers a truly global perspective on the multi-hyphen method. So, let’s dive into the pages of Emma Gannon’s book and glean wisdom from our special guests.
